2023-24 

Join BVHS PTSA TODAY! Only $12/member to support the program that supports ALL school activities. Sure, there are parent groups and booster clubs for various clubs, teams, and programs, but PTSA supports the entire campus.

PTSA meetings are held once a month on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the school library. Everyone is encouraged to attend meetings and contribute to how PTSA supports the campus community. In particular, we hope everyone will attend the September meeting when we approve our budget, the January meeting when we discuss officers for the following year, and March when we vote on new officers for the coming year.  The other meetings are Executive meetings where board business is discussed; members are welcome to attend if they wish to learn more about PTSA activities. 

Meeting Dates - 2023 / 24

August 22 - September 26 - October 24 - November 28 December – no meeting January 23 - February 27 - March 19 (changed due to spring break) April 23 - May 28 - June 25

The Bella Vista College and Career Center (the CCC) is a valuable center for planning life after high school. The CCC is staffed by BV parent volunteers who work with counselors, teachers and staff to provide information and other resources to all students – those who plan to attend a college, those who plan to enter a vocational or occupational training program, and those who just aren’t sure.

WHERE: The CCC is located inside the Bella Vista Library, behind the check-out counter.

WHEN: The CCC is open during library hours mid-September through mid-May. For assistance from trained volunteers, stop by during lunch hours as well as before Open House and Back to School Night. We encourage all parents and students to stop by for a visit.

CONTACT: Please stop by during lunch, call (916)971-5083 or email the CCC Volunteers at bellavistaccc@aol.com.

Donors Choose Project from Band Director - Mr. Sabado

STILL NEED $1,495 in donations!  Can you help?!  Thank you!

Project expires January 2nd.  

band

The goal of this project is to have a class set of RF receivers and transmitters so that I can transmit audio to my students in real time without the lag of Bluetooth. This will give all students a recording studio like experience to hear reference audio such as a metronome, their individual parts, tuning pitch, reference recordings etc. in their ear. This will be a game changer for our music ensembles.  

Any donated amount is greatly appreciated!!
